Some Men of Mark.
Father AnderIedy, who, by the recent
death of Father Beckx, succeeds to the Office
of superior general of the Jesuits, is now in
his sixty-ninth year but from the time he
was twenty-eight he has been one of the most
foremost members of the society. Father
Anderledy was very prominent in the Ultra
montana League agitation in 1S47, and
shortly after the League came to an untimely
end he was appointed superior Of the PROV
ince of Prussia. He was next promoted to
the high post of g Assistant for Germany
with Jurisdiction over Austria, Switzerland
Belgium, Holland and Scandinavia. Father
Anderiedy's long connection with Germany
is not unlikely to have an important infiu-
ence upon present and future negotiations
between Berlin and the Vatican. He is
man of polished manners and autocratic
temper. Among his many accomplishments
not the least is his knowledge of languages.
He speaks with remarkable ease and fiuency
French, Italian, German, Spanish and
English.
Ros Alula, the Abyssinian chief, who
recently defeated body of Italian troops. is
of middle height has chocolate-coloreds skin
and a thin face but is otherwise rather stout.
He never laughs, talks slowly, is polite to
strangers, but naughty to interiors. His
orders are only given once. If they are not
executed he horsewhips his servants. As q
rule he wears a white cotton shirt and trous-
ers. "A red fez covers his close-cut hair. On
special occasions he wears red silk shirt. the
robe of the governor. He is an excellent
horseman, and it will be difficult to find an
Abyssinian who bears the hardships OF trav-
cling better than he. Having had no educa-
ton, he can neither write nor read, but is
very intelligent and cunning, yet pious and
superstitious withal. His avarice is extreme:
he takes everywhere, and gives nowhere.
Wherever he goes he takes everything he can
lay hold of. On his marches he is accom-
panied by his servants, who carry his wine.
Tennyson's home in the Isle of Wight is
modest one; he has only one man-servant
in the house, but it is 90 comfortable and
pleasant as most households of the same
class. 1t is the poets manners and customs
which give u its individuality. Il Is Under
stood that visitors do not disturb the great
mans ways, and that he behaves in precisely
the same manner when he has company as
when he has not. Every morning, in hail,
rain or snow, the poet dons his frouzy cap
and his frouzier SLOUGH hat, and promenades
for an hour or so, none daring to disturb
him. Every day at dinner bottle of port is
placed before the host, and Tennyson retires
with it generally when dessert comes on),
and leaves his guests at the table. The poet
isato be found in his study with his bottle by
his side, and huge dock-glass holding a
pint. This is filled half with port and half
with water, and the bard solemnly fills and
refills till bottleaand. glass are empty.
Thomas Bernard Mcguire, of the general
executive board, Knights of Labor is one of
the most energetic and lively of men. He
talks so quickly and powerfully that he up
sets all his listeners nerves, and after two or
three hours leaves him crushed. and wilted.
The Knights of Labor have had more of a
peculiar kind Conformation from New York
since he has been in powert than at any other
time, and the fights between workingmen
have been on narrower basis than at any
other time. Mcguire was in East st. Louis
at the time of the railroad riots, year ago,
as T. B. Brown, of the East. He carried
$4,000 of the executive board of the
Knights of Labor money in his clothes, and
every dollar was rigidly accounted for. He
denies that all this fight against the trades
unions is his work.
